The comments on the 2019 Formula 1 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix according to Brembo
- 4 years ago
The 21st and last race of the Formula 1 World Championship is scheduled for November 29th to December 1st at Yas Marina Circuit in Abu Dhabi. The track is on the man-made island of the same name, next to Ferrari World, in the area north-west of the capital of the United Arab Emirates. Even though there are 21 corners, the drivers only use their brakes 11 times each lap.
Only the city track in Singapore has more braking points: 15.
The brakes are used for a total of almost 18.5 seconds each lap, which equals 17 minutes over the course of the whole race, 19% of the GP.
The average peak deceleration per lap is 3.7 G, but taking into account just the first 11 corners, the average exceeds 4.6 G, a figure never approached in the remaining turns.
The energy dissipated during braking in the whole GP from each single-seater is 242 kWh, which is quite similar to the Hungarian GP.
From the starting line to the checkered flag, each driver exerts a total load of 53.5 tons on the brake pedal.
On the single lap though, the load exceeds 970 kg.
